AI companies are attracting enormous investment and extraordinary valuations. But can the technology generate enough economic growth to justify the expectations? My take on @NEWSMAX  #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Perspective changes everything. One of the things I love about diving is realizing how much of the world remains unexplored. #ScubaDiving #Exploration

AI is the future. It's also a bubble. The bigger question: Can lower-cost AI models compete with today's proprietary systems? That's where the economics could get interesting. My take on Newsmax. #AI

The conversations after a keynote are often just as interesting as the ones on stage. Great connecting with attendees at @Computershare in NYC last week and signing copies of AI and the Octopus Organization alongside my co-author Steve Wunker @NewMktsAdvisors. Thanks to all!

AI can accelerate drug discovery. But discovering a molecule isn’t the same as producing and testing it. The next unlock is AI + robotics automating more of the physical lab work. That’s when the acceleration gets much more interesting. @NEWSMAX #AI #AIScience #Biotech

950 AI agents sifted through 200,000 possibilities in a day. The real shift: AI may be moving from answering questions to actually doing science — including reconsidering conclusions it previously dismissed. We’re starting to see the acceleration. @NEWSMAX  #AI #AIScience

Today's most advanced AI could soon be running on your personal computer. There's a shrinking gap between frontier AI and widely available technology—so what does that mean for competition, regulation and business? @NEWSMAX #AI #FutureOfAI

The biggest AI companies want new rules governing AI. Those rules may be necessary—but leaders should still ask: Who benefits from them? Safety and competitive advantage can exist in the same conversation. From @NewsNation  #AI #AIRegulation

The AI arms race isn't just about who builds the strongest model... The harder problem is what happens when powerful AI can be deployed across ordinary computers and networks at scale. That's where the risk changes. #AI #AISafety

AI may hallucinate, but humans decide whether to act on it. When unverified AI-generated intelligence informs critical decisions, that's a failure of human oversight. AI guardrails have to include human accountability. @NEWSMAX  #AI #AILeadership

AI models are doing alarming things in safety testing—but the important question is: Are those behaviors actually being shipped? Research risk and product risk are not the same thing. Clip from @NewsNation #AI #AISafety

THE LIE OF THE CONCRETE You might have had this same experience. I was talking with an executive today. He sees the future of his organization. The writing is on the wall. It's the size of the Hollywood sign and it's in neon green letters. Yet he's ignore…lnkd.in/gVFpPDs6

WHAT RISKS DOES AI POSE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION? As CIOs and CTOs, we have historically been able to wall off most employees from our IT stack and information security. AI turns our historical security on its head, bringing new, unknown and rapidly evolving…lnkd.in/gYSU5UyE

The best talk on geopolitics I've seen in some time. Not sure I buy the social media argument. Congress and the Executive could kill US social media companies, but guess what, micro-targeting folks and getting them whooped up benef…lnkd.in/gavS5ikQ lnkd.in/gKnxnJD3
